Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) Support Group

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) an ongoing pattern of disobedient, hostile, and defiant behavior toward authority figures that goes beyond the bounds of normal childhood behavior. When a child cannot seem to control his anger or frustration, even over what seems to be trivial or simple to others, the child will often react in violent or negative ways to his own...

do the rules get followed every day?

yesterday was ok again. I actually got an I love you before he left to hang out w/friends. There is still no job, and he only does his tasks when he is reminded (his clothes are still on the bathroom floor after his shower from today). This kinda of behavior kinda voids out the I love you. Should I be expecting all rules to be followed every day? I don’t even do everything I am supposed to do every day. I did ask him to put his comforter into the washing machine today. We will see if it has been done. I am starting to write the letter that I am sticking to turning off his phone.

N***, you can be as mad at me as you need to be; you can hate me as long as you need too. But the phone is being turned off. You need to learn to be a little more independent. I know you are not ready to go back to any type of school; but you have to have a full-time job. If you would just put 75% of your time into work/saving money/starting MMA, and decreasing hanging-out to 25% for a little while; most problems would be solved at first. I am also not paying for anything if you are going to make money “driving around.”

Just my take....keep your message 'vivid specific'
"If you want to live at home, and ""I do Want You To"""
for us to be on good terms, I really don't want to turn off your phone.
I want to know what you want/need.
I want to see you in college and working part time.
How can '''we'''' work together and make what you want and I want happen??

Brainstorm....do something like taking Nate out to dinner...do stupid silly stuff maybe....just trying not to control or demand...choose your battles, what is most important? School/work or wash on the floor?
Best of Luck :-)

I just wanted to Thankyou for this group. The other one is so big and at times very overwhelming. It’s hard to write when so many people can read it. I just wanted to let you know we all would love to make a difference in this world and I’m here to say ML you do at least for me you do. Have a good day and have knit away.

I want today to be clear of all that is not positive, acknowledge and let the 'its' slide away as breathing out.I want to find/think/breathe in all the good in my life.I want to take in all that is around me using all of my 5 senses.I want to change what I can, accept what I can'tI want everyone who reads this post to find peace and have a good day.I want to complete my daily chore for the week:...
